Initial Operation; Surge Protection - Oehlbach Powersocket 908 Mode D'emploi

ENG I User manual
Cleaning
Before cleaning the Powersocket disconnect the mains plug.
The Powersocket should only be dusted. Do not use any liquid
cleaners or sprays.

Initial operation

Connect the supplied power cord to the Oehlbach XXL Pow-
ersocket 908 and insert the mains plug into a wall outlet. The
multi-socket outlet can now be activated via the power switch.
The XXL Powersocket 908 is provided with four unfiltered „an-
alogue" and four filtered digital sockets. The unfiltered sockets
are designated with „Analog Sockets" and the filtered sockets
are designated with „Digital Sockets".
Connecting digital devices
Digital devices can react extremely sensitively to disturbing
pulses and sometimes even produce high-frequency inter-
fering signals. Therefore, make sure you connect all digital
devices (e.g. DVD/BluRay player, HDD recorder, PC, etc.) to
the digital sockets on the power strip. These sockets are
black. Devices connected to these sockets are protected by an
efficient filter against all disturbing pulses that arrive viathe
mains supply. This switching circuit also eliminates inter-
ference caused by the connected devices themselves.
Connecting analogue devices
Connect all analogue devices such as a tuner, record player,
tape deck or amplifier to the grey „analogue" sockets. The
XXL Powersocket 908 uses these sockets to provide unfiltered
current for all analogue devices and sufficient reserves for a
permanent, stable power supply at all times, even in the event
of high power requirements.
Polarity control
An in-phase connection of all devices will guarantee the best
possible, unadulterated sound. This is the only way to ensure
that potential equalisation currents, which have a negative
impact on the sound, are effectively avoided. The POLARITY
light indicates that the red sockets are connected in-phase (L).
If the polarity light does not illuminate, switch off the power
supply, remove the mains plug from the wall socket, turn it
around around 180° and plug it in again. The polarity LED now
illuminates and the phase designation on the individual sockets
correctly designates the phase. To proof the correct in-phase
connection of your HIFI-device, you should use the Oehlbach
Phaser (Art.No. 17017). All end devices can now be connected
in-phase accordingly.

Surge protection

If the surge protection function of the XXL Powersocket 908 is
triggered as a result of extreme voltage peaks, the eight
sockets (and all of the connected devices) are disconnected
from the mains. The Powersocket can be used again by
pressing the RESET button.
Correct operation of the active surge protection function is
indicated by the PROTECTED light.
